best place around CO to buy?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi guys!  This forum seems great and because of this site I am probably siding with the Rpod over the MPG and others.  I have read quite few posts on price for new and I was curious if anyone in Colorado has gotten any local dealers to get close to Couches prices?  I thought I saw a post about someone getting a 172 for around 12k up in Casper WY.         

I want to get the 177 and I originally planned on driving out to Couches and possibly road trippin the Park line HWY, but driving up to Casper from Dillon, CO would be way easier and cheaper.

Also - what are the fees involved with buying out of state (IE WY)?  Do I pay sales tax for WY or when I register it back in CO?  Would I need to buy a temporary WY license?  Thanks for all the help guys!

	We live in IL and we bought at Couches. We paid sales tax in IL when we registered the Pod. We got a temporarly Ohio plate when we picked it up. I am sure it would be similar for you if you bought in Wy and live in CO.

	Howdy, I made the trip to Couch's to purchase our 172 last July- well worth the trip. Dealerships here in Colorado wanted $5-6 K more for a 172 that wasn't fully loaded- no microwave, no awning, etc. We have had our 172 out only once since, but everything worked like a charm. Scott

	Sorry, forgot to mention that we did pay $1,100 in sales tax and registration when I returned to Colorado- no sales tax in Ohio, but they'll make sure you pay when you come back to Colorado. Scott

	It was the same for us...we paid sales tax in IL and it was about $1000.

	I'm in Omaha and bought from A.C. Nelsen here in town. They matched the price Couch's was offering and saved me the hassle and expense of a trip to Ohio.
